...biggest problem with most prospectuses is that most people don't read them, and those who do discount the "risk factors" as the overprotective drivel of some lawyer. How else to explain soaring Internet IPOs despite pages spelling out potentially fatal risks? Addressing this issue in his 1996 IPO of Berkshire Hathaway B shares, Warren Buffett in bold letters urged all to read the material and "ignore anyone telling you that these statements are boiler plate or unimportant." That's a start. But be ready to check further...

...versatile and expressive. It's also quite sexy, as the constantly screaming fans in the background emphasize. The talent is there--but the song itself is crap. A guitar in the background chokes out basic chords with an simple Natalie Imbruglia-esque rhythm as Morrissey churns out such drivel as "I danced myself out of the womb...Is it strange to dance so soon?....What's it like to be a loon?... I liken it to a balloon." Gag. Is Morrissey washed...
